  • Some files fail to export with an error.
  • Some counties appear not to be correct (perhaps my assumption that towns are always contained in counties is false).
  • Town and county fields should be filled in even for records where there was no vote for the person.
  • Add election ID.

Some of the Congressional elections have no records for towns. For instance: ny.uscongress6.1789.xml

Some of the Congressional elections have records for towns, but it only lists that there are towns, with no record of the votes for the towns. For example: ny.uscongress16.1806.xml

A better strategy for finding counties: create a separate town and county data frame, only if the unit passed to the script is town, then join that to the votes data frame.
